Sooo I thought this would be an interesting thing to post... maybe it isn't lol... idk but here it is anyway... Since I talked about the excitements of my 21st birthday... I thought I would tell you about the times when I had to do something kind of boring before the fun stuff!
So the weekend before my 15th birthday I had a Saturday detention. I know right? I had just gotten to high school- it was when Camera Phones were new and they didn't allow them at school... so they took it away for a month and gave me a Saturday Detention because I forgot to turn the ringer off and someone called in class. Side Note: I've been getting wrong number calls for as long as I've had this phone... so it wasn't even a right number. And Me being the Arrested Development obsessed teen that I was- my ringtone was The Final Countdown... so of corse everyone could hear it and everyone that knew me pretty well knew it was me.
And my parents didn't really care that I got a Saturday... they got me the phone before I went to the school- I was a good kid and I didn't use it in class or anything... so afterwards we took a train to New York because I had really wanted to go to Serendipity for dinner.There was a movie about it, Oprah talked about it and I just really really wanted to see it.
So the train was kind of a wait... it was pretty bad because it was packed and some couple was trying to sit on the bench with us and the woman said "So are you going to move or what" and like... REALLY? I didn't have to move- she could have stood the whole time just because she was being so damn rude... but whatever... I didn't think to just say "Or what" at the time... if it ever happens again I will. I've been thinking about this for over 10 years so clearly... I'm just waiting for someone to be rude so that I can get my revenge on this one lady.
Anyway then guess what was at Serendipity? A wait! That's right so we were waiting in line for a little while longer... we didn't have to wait as long as they said.
So it was good... not my favorite for dinner food... I think I got fried chicken and it was pretty darn good... but they are really more known for desserts... and that's really where they excel. The Frozen Hot Chocolate is a fave- the Ice Cream Sundays are great... this is what they do the best.
So yeah... that was nice and fun and all... I guess I have another story about them for my 16th birthday... but I'll save that for next week.
Anywhoo... my 21st birthday did have a slightly similar story before I went out for drinks at TGI Fridays too... It was a tradition for my friends and I to see the Paranormal Activity movies for my birthday because that's around when they came out... and I'm a big fan of Paranormal Activity- so that was fun... even though I think my 21st birthday was Paranormal Activity 4... and that's the worst one (I didn't see The Ghost Dimension... but 3 is my favorite so I probably should watch that.)
Anyway after watching that I was so excited to just go to dinner and get my drink... but someone came up and asked me for a survey. Then I think I got stopped again inside the mall and someone wanted to sell me that Dead Sea mineral stuff... which I hate... so yeah. It was a wait... but it was worth the wait for that pink punk cosmo at TGI Fridays! That is delicious! I mentioned it in last weeks blog I think but they put the cotton candy in and then pour the cosmo on top... and at the bottom it's just sugar and some alcohol and it's delicious.
Hope you liked this story!
